From tennis balls to plastic bags, here are GTN's best triathlon hacks to make your tri life easier, simpler and quicker.

Heather's tips include:
- Using a plastic bag to ease on your wetsuit.
- Using elastic bands to keep your shoes in place in T1
- Ensuring you have multiple goggle lenses available.
- Using a bottle just for gels (with a little water).
- Using elastic laces to make them easier to put on in T2.
- Using cable ties to ensure your bottles stay in place.
- Using petroleum jelly inside your shoes to prevent rubbing and help ease them on in transition.
- Packing smartly when travelling.
- Using 2 tennis balls with tape as a makeshift foam roller.
- Using baby oil to help take your wetsuit off faster.
